No Bake Preacher Cookies

Peanut butter, oats, butter, and a little bit of chocolate, and that’s just about all you need for a batch of Preacher Cookies. Scoop out a spoonful and dollop onto waxed paper to set, then drizzle chocolate over the top.

We love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, and the oats help to give texture and substance to the cookie. These really do whip up super quickly, and all they need is a few minutes to set, then they’re ready to serve.

No matter what you call them, these cookies taste great. We don’t need any excuse to make a batch, just a hankerin’ for something sweet.
Many might know these cookies by another name, cow patties, which is a slightly gross but fairly accurate description of what these cookies look like. While the idea behind these cookies is outdated, the sense of good hospitality is not. When company comes to call, we still like to put out something for folks to nibble on.

Although these quaint, simpler times have passed, it’s fun to share these little traditions with the next generation. The kids love making the cookies, and I love a baking project that doesn’t involve turning on the stove.
